[QUOTE=Gansett]Are there any left? There was one in Johnston located across from Hurd, now another car dealer is there.[/QUOTE]


America's Best Value Inn

Locations in Scituate, North Kingstown and East Prov.

The Alpine on Douglas Pike in Smithfield.

The Hilltop on Eddie Dowling Hwy in N Smithfield.

are two that I have been told about but cannot confirm with personal experience some of the girls on CL use them.

This was passed by the House Judiciary Committee on 4/30 by a vote of 8 to 4 with 3 members not present. Since there will likely be a lot of comment about it, here it is for your perusal.

One of the major questions is what effect this will have on Providence Strip Clubs...if you look closely at the definition of "sexual conduct" you will see references to the acts of sexual stimulation included. Will this be interpretable as making a "good grind" illegal? Did they leave a little bitty loophole that will allow the strip club business to continue as it was before FS became the norm in so many clubs? Also, if you look at the section that is aimed at mongers, they use the term "sexual acts" rather than the already defined "sexual conduct" - is that sloppy law writing or is there some other reason for that?

It will also be interesting to hear assessments of just how vigorously lil' Rhody will enforce this!

[QUOTE=Viejo]Also, if you look at the section that is aimed at mongers, they use the term "sexual acts" rather than the already defined "sexual conduct" - is that sloppy law writing or is there some other reason for that?[/QUOTE]

.....there's going to be years of debate on what it actually says and what the intent is.

Personally, I don't see it becoming law, but I'm not a Rhode Island resident, either.

Now, cynically reading that last question of yours, if taken literally aren't all the legislators exposed to prosecution? After all, to them graft, abuse of power, etc. gives them a prurient thrill - aren't those really "sexual acts" in that case??

MSNBC reported earlier today that CL is now cooperating with the atty generals and will be changing the "erotic" section. The erotic section page "can't be found", at least by my computer. I did notice a new "adult" listing but that page can't be found either.

PITA[/QUOTE]Looks like the adult listing section is now up.

It will be interesting to see how long it takes for word to spread.

You know, the back of a ATM or gas reciept, corner torn off a envelope, etc that have digits aquired.

I've always converted them to my master list that I carry in my wallet. No more. It fell out when I was getting some cash out, unfortunately in front of someone who should never see that list. Fortunately I was the one to get to it first.

I've since sent a email with that info to my double secret Yahoo email account. Any new numbers I obtain will be sent there from now on. No more carrying proof. If a number works, btw 95% don't, I'll log in to that email and call from my monger phone. Then delete that number from my phone's list of recent calls.

Be safe and have fun.

take a look at this link....

It's my understanding that in RI, the Senate and House versions of a bill must read the same. Since the two versions are still different, it will take a joint committee effort to make them the same [b]before the end of the RI fiscal year - June 30.[/b] So, we have a glimmer of hope - if they don't make the two versions identical in time, it cannot be passed. So all those people who showed such strong support may have a hidden contingent who don't want the bill passed - claiming that they just did not have the time to complete the process but "...wait 'till next year." So watch Monday and Tuesday's news closely!

Anyone know of Shayann, Sweet Kim or Champagne?

A gentleman contacted me with very few posts because of a review of me and stacy lyns 3-some in waterbury, ct. Could be l. E. But he told me to contact those three ladies listed above because he has been with them. My email is [email]coco. Cheenatyahoo.com[/email], please let me know.

Thanks,

Coco

Or did I step over the line? A out-of-state provider recently requested some info. I replied with the extremely limited info I have, I even expressed my desire that I wished I could have been of more help.

I asked if she had ever thought of a road trip to RI saying "remember, it's still legal here".

I didn't expect a reply saying thanks and I really didn't expect a reply saying ,,,"the donation would be way out of ur price range, i am quite expensive as i'm sure u have heard,"

Well, excuuuuuse me. No, I hadn't heard and I wonder how she knows she's out of my price range? But I am thinking of sending her a suggestion that she buy a Caps key and dictionary with her earnings.

Have to go and catch the bus to Prov using my low income bus pass and pick up my food stamps. Then off to the soup kitchen for lunch. Hope I can find a dry place under the overpass tonight,,,,,

I have a few used condoms I can throw your way in case you get lucky under that overpass. I bought 'em from Psycho Zombie before he dropped out of the game a few years ago. I know they've been used, but at least they're still empty.

I am not from RI, so I do not get your local news. Can someone please tell us if "Indoor Prostitution" was outlawed in RI? An update wold be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Forest, nothing has changed yet. The loop hole still exists!

Peace.

I sense the end is near. I intend to take advantage of this summer, just in case.

If not, and the "loop hole" (which was undoubtedly engineered by some horny politicians) continues, I have lost nothing!
